The lightweight and soft wood from younger trees is mainly used for pulping, whereas the heavier and harder wood of older trees is used as timber. The wood is relatively difficult to work resin may adhere to sawteeth and cutting edges, but the use of long-pitched sawteeth reduces this problem it holds nails and screws well glues, finishes and paints satisfactorily. The wood dries with little degrade, although some surface checking and splitting down the centre may occur. The wood is heavy, hard, tough, moderately durable to non-durable, being susceptible to attacks by Anobium borers, marine borers and termites. The grain is straight, sometimes spiral texture medium growth rings are distinct. The heartwood is yellow to red-brown it is not clearly demarcated from the 5 - 15cm wide band of yellowish white sapwood. The main components are alpha-pinene (43.0%), beta-pinene (27.1%) and alpha-terpineol (9.6%). The leaves yield around 0.3% of a balsam scented oil. An essential oil is distilled from the needles. Rosin is used in the production of paper, soap and glue. Turpentine is used in the paint industry. I think TyTy has done their best.Oleoresin is tapped from the trees and distilled to obtain 12 - 13% turpentine and rosin. They were quickly planted and I assume will take to the area.
My 3 slash pine arrived quickly, well packaged, and well watered. They are straight and appear to be doing well. Hopefully we'll get better than 70% survival.Ĭindy Vansickle from Denison, TX United States
We plan to order at least another 30 slash pine. The 8 long-leaf pine trees I bought are doing fine.
My wife also ordered 10 slash pines, most of those are ok. The three yellow ones are turning brown and I don't expect them to survive. All were correctly planted and watered immediately in good soil for pines. Thanks again Ty Ty!Īlan Ryan from Brooksville, FL United States They are all thriving despite a couple of sub-freezing cold snaps. This year we purchased two orders of slash pine and both arrived very quickly and were in excellent shape on arrival. We are repeat customers, having purchased both longleaf and slash pines. Nancy Ryan from Brooksville, FL United States Roger Jgarceau from Lebanon, NJ United States If plants are listed by gallon size the plant will be removed from container and have the majority of the dirt removed to allow for the best shipping.Ġ of 0 people found the following review helpful:

SLASH PINE FULL
Slash pine trees are full of a sticky, clear fluid called turpentine that was a very valuable &bul Naval Stores&bul product during the World War when petroleum products were rationed, and the turpentine was used to thin oil-based paints, as a medicine, and for many other valuable purposes. This valuable Pine Tree was best known by early American settlers as a fast growing tree that produced a high quality lumber, perfect for home construction, straight-grained, dense lumber that matures in only 30 years as compared to the extended 100 years for the long leaf pine. The pinecone of the Slash Pine tree grows very sharp spikes around the edges that protect them from wildlife food searchers like turkeys and squirrels that love to eat the seeds. The Slash Pine tree is a native, southeastern shade tree that prefers humid climates, and both the pine cones and the needles of the Slash Pine tree are smaller than those of the Longleaf Pine but larger than those of the Loblolly Pine tree.
